Kedar Sigdel is a Nepali politician and former member of the House of Representatives.[2][3]
He was elected under the first-past-the-post (FPTP) system from Tanahun–2 in the 2017 general election.[4] He defeated his nearest rival Shankar Bhandari of Nepali Congress by acquiring 32,924 votes to Bhandari's 29,645.[4] This was the first time he was elected to parliament.[5]
Sigdel did not contest the seat in the 2022 general election, instead opting to run for the provincial assembly from Tanahun 2 (B), but he was defeated by Congress' Jeet Prakash Ale Magar by a margin of 640 votes.[6]
